What's the Story?
PRETZEL AND THE PUPPIES HOLIDAY SPECIAL: MERRY MUTTGOMERY! showcases the Doxie family preparing for the "Bow Wow-utiful" holiday, Wags Day. The family feels like "chilly dogs" because of the cold weather coming in to Muttgomery leading up to the big day. When the family wakes up the morning of the Wags Day Festive, the town is completely snowed-in! The Doxie family uses their creativity and teamwork to make the Snow Pup Express and travel through the snow. With Nana's special Wags Day decorations buried under the snow, and the town square empty, the pups are worried that the day may be "ruff." Will they be able to have a Merry Wags Day after all?
